Odds and Ends Not much bas happened over the, past week at- home other than the spring bulb flower bed has been dug up resulting in close to 800 bulbs and bulblets being out to dry. It is the last of some six flowers gardens that did exist in the back yard which iý now covered by grass. There just neyer seemed to be time to look after the weeds of late with the only answer beîng 'get rd of the gardens'. Certainly we will make use ofthe bulbs and the bublets for a possible other location. Over the years they have, done well in the back SO pçrhaps we can try them now in the front, garden for next spring. The bulblets will take a couple of years to flower, but we can wait.

Caruana states he expeets to, have final approval to local the ramps somewhere in the' fair grounids this week. Its amazing what can be done on these ramps by the kids in the com- munity.
